Spanish Peanuts.
These low growing bushy plants are as fun to grow as they are to eat. Peanuts have clover-like foliage and small yellow pea like flowers. The plant produces legumes just below the surface, about 30-60 peanuts shells per plant. The plants thrive in loose well drained soil and grow best when planted several inches deep in elevated mounds or rows that provide good drainage. Harvest when the foliage begins to yellow in late summer to early autumn. Carefully dig up the plant, shake off loose soil and hang plant in a warm dry location for 1-2 weeks. Then pull the peanuts off the plants and air dry the peanuts for an additional 1-2 weeks.
Peanuts should not be eaten until well dried.
